MISCELLANEOUS.
A Midnight Alarm.
I live in the outskirts of the city, and as I
have heard a good deal of late of house-break
ing i'i various quarters, I make it a rule to see
that all our doors and windows are properly fast .
ened at night before retiring to rest. In addi
tion to this I sleep in a room so situated that if
any of the doors were attempted to be forced
I would almost he sure to heai jthe noise.
Two nights ago 1 awoke, I think it must
have been about midnight, with the impression
that some noise had broken my slumber. Al- j
ter listening for a minute I heard a stealthy
noise, as of someone using a wrenching instru
ment against either a door or a window. I
crept to my own room door, and soon ascertain
ed that the noise proceeded not from the front,
but Ihe basement, and could now hear, quite
distinctly the cautious working of a chisel, !
as far as 1 could guess, against the lower
door.
I quickly put on my dressing gown, and j
stole as gently as I could alon& the piissasge, ;
to a point near the few steps which lead
down to the basement, and from which I could 1
see the door, while I screened from observa
tion myself. I say I could see the door, while
in reality it was so pitch dark that I could see
nothing, but I thought the robbers might
probably have a light with them and that the
position I had taken up was consequently the
only sale one. 1 was determined to wait till
the villians had partly effected their purpose,
and were fairly inside the door, and then
pouncing out upon them; deal as many blows
as I could with a good stout stick I field in my
hand, and make one of them at least, should
there be more, a prisoner. 1 knew how coward
ly such wretches generally are. and that one
strong arm, coming unexpectedly upon them
might put to flight a whole dozen.
After some minutes, daring which the noise
was repeated several times, butwithuot effect..
I heard them commence the regular working
of a saw or file, I could not determine which.
It was worked very cautiously discontinued al
intervals, as if to allow time for listening. The
ruffians, I thought, they have brought a sup
ply of instruments, and are evidently determi
ned to do their work ; but they will find me
preparrd for them.
At this moment I was startled with anew
noise—the opennig of a door at my *ide. I
looked round. A light streamed from the ser
vant’s door, which was slowly opened and the
girl appeared with a lighted candle in her
hand. I, of course, thought she too had heard
the noise which had disturbed me, and was a
bout to alarm the household. I therefore
motioned her to silence, when to my supprise.
without appearing to notice me, she glided
swiftly across the passage and. descending
the stairs, stood at the door from which the
noise had proceeded. I.now heard her whis
per softly, while at the same time the deeper
mumbling of a man’s voice came from the out- 1
side.
Although I had remained quite cool hither
to, the blood now almost froze in my veins,
for this was a girl of whom we had all held a
very high opinion, and up to tin's time would
have trusted her with anything, anjl the idea
of her thus concerting with robbers at the
dead hour of the night horrified jine very
much. After a few minutes she turiiicd round
and began reascending the stairik. While
she did so 1 was struck with the expression of
her features. There was a rigidity about
them more like death than life, und her eve,
which was also quite fixed, had at the same
time a wildness in it which almost made me
shudder. When she reached the top of the
stairs and just as she was about to walk a
cross to her room, her eyes encountered mine,
and then indeed I felt a shudder run through
me with an intensity I never felt before, and
I hope never to do again. It was not that
there was anything menacing in their expres
sion—that of course would have been nothing
—but they first fixed upon me with a horrible,
wild glazed look, and then the balls rolling
suddenly up, quite out of sight, left nothing
visible but the white.
Before I was conscious what farther she did,
she had disappeared, and I was again left in to
tal darkness. I felt so strangely that 1 crept
to a chair I knew to be standing near and sat
down. I continued for a considerable time in
a dozing state, unable to determine what to
do or indeed scarcely able to think calmly on
what had taken place. I was conscious that
the noise at the basement door had again
commenced, and that puzzled me very much,
hut by and by it was gradually discontinued,
and at length in the stillness of the night 1 tell
into a deep sleep. When 1 next awoke it
was broad daylight. My mother was stand
ing beside me and asked me anxiously why I
sat where I did. Behind her stood the girl,
looking as I thought very guilty. As 1 did
not care to accuse her without reflection I
contented myself with merely asking if neith
er had seen or heard anything during tiie
night. The girl turned very pale, and said. ‘ I
dreamed, sir. that 1 saw you during the night
in the passage here, and just as you are only
wilder and stranger looking.*’
;i But,” I asked,” did you dream what you
were doing in the passage'?”
“ Yes,” she said,” 1 thought I went down to
see the pig which mistress bought yesterday
and ”
While she was speaking I heard the noise of
the night repeated, accompanied by a very
audible grunt.
“ What, -4 I excliiped. u have you put aj ig
down underneath the stairs there ?”
“ Yes said my mother. “ I forgot to tel!
you of it last night.’
I burst into a loud laugh. The mystery
was now solved. The wrenching operation
has beeu performed by the pig thrusting his
snout into some corner, the saw laid been at
work when lie gave his back a grateful scratch,
and the girl had played the somnambulist.
Supposing this to be a true narrative, and
not a mere figment of the imagination, the
coincidence of pig, somnambulist back-scratch
ing and the rest was droll enough. — Commer
cial Advertiser.
The Way to get Rich.
The only way by which capital can increase
ie by saving. If you spend as much as you
get, you will never be richer than you are. It
is not what a man gets, but what he saves, that
constitutes his wealth. Go learn the first two
rules ofarithmetic ; learn addition and subtrac
tion ; add to your present capital any amount
you please; subtract the sum which you add.
and tell me if the last amount will not he the
same as the first. Every merchant should, in
every year of his life, make some addition to
his capital. You say you get but a little;
never mind, spend less than little, and then
next year you will get more, for you will have
the profit upon the sum you save. There is
no royal road to wealth any more than to ge
ometry. The man who goes on spending all
he gets, and expects that by some lucky hit he
shall be raised to wealth, will most likely sink
into poverty, lor. in case of adverse fortune, he
has then no resource, whereas, by economy he
may lay by a stock that may serve as a provi
sion in case of adversity. A man says the
times are bad; that seasons are bad ; ttie laws
are bad. Be it so ; but were the case reversed,
it would make no difference to you Look at
home ; you spend more than you get; how can
you he otherwise than poor ? How many a
respectable family have fallen from a high sta
tion which they worthily and honorably tilled,
because neither the gentleman nor lady had
been familiar with the first lour rules ol arith
metic. Had they known how to check the ac
counts of their agents, their Mfcdesmen, and
their servants ; had they known how to com
pare their receipts and expenditures, and to see
VOL. XXVI.—No. 32.
which preponderated, all their difficulties might
have been avoided. Avery - small acquain
tance with the principles of commerce is suf
ficient to teach that, if a man spends every
year more than he recieves. lie will necessari
y fall into poverty. — Hunt's .Merchant's Mag

Lightning.
So long as lightning is occasioned merely
by the action of two clouds one upon anoth
er, not the slightest danger is apprehended.
Thunder being only’ a report, is perf tiv
harmless at all times. But wheu the elec in
city comes within the attraction of the ear la,
either by a cloud crossing over a lofty moun
tain or sinking near the earth's surface, it pas
ses dowin from the cloud to the earth, some
times in a straight line of fire, sometimes roiling
along like a large ball, clearing out of its way
everthing that offers resistance to it: thus it
will often tear up trees, set houses on fire, and
even destroy animal life, should it impede its
progress. This hall is a liquid in a state of
lusiuii, and not (as has been supposed by soms
persons unacquainted with the science) a nie
talic substance called a thunderbolt. There
are metalic substances sometimes precipitated
from the air; these are termed terolites. and
have nothing to do with the electricity of
storms. As soon a- the clouds disperse, which
is usually after a vivid flash of liirhtning and
a very loud clap ot thunder, the rain desend*.
the electrical power is destroyed, and tile storm
ceases - —Although storms arise from what
may be called the accidents of nature, they
are ot great importance as an effort of nature,
by which the atmosphere is cleared of all
these impurities it imbibes from noxious va
pors, and other sources; and hence despite
their dangerous tendencies and the terrors to
which they give rise, they are productive of
much advantage.— Sharpe's Lomlon Maga
zine.
The Laziest Han.
A worthy old citizen of Newport, who had
the reputation o! being the laziest man alive.
—so lazy, indeed that he used to weed the
garden in a rocking chair, rocking forward to
take hold ol the weed, and backward to uproot
it—had a way offishing-peculiary his own. Ho
used to drive las .vhiie-laeeu mare down to the
spot where the tautog (blackfish) might be
depended on forany weight from tvyo to twelve
pounds—hack his gig down to the water, put
out his line ami when the tautog was was
salely hooked, start the old mare, and pull
him out.
Grapes Without Trimming.
A correspondent of the Cultivator” makes
the following observations on the subject of
Grapes. The same views have been often
advanced. Wlk> knows anything about it
from trial of both modes?
In travelling through the States of Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut, a few years since.
I was drawn to observe the quantities of
grapes growing wild on vines that were
climbing over the tops of the forest trees.
Most of those which I tasted were of good
quality, and they - grew in abundance, without
any care whatever. I have often heard peo
ple from the above-mentioned States speak of
the excellent grapes that they used to gather
trom vines on the forest trees. A few years
since a friend of mine took the trouble to col
lect a quantity of cuttings of the best varieties,
which lie planted in bis garden. The vines
when they grew were managed with much
care, after the manner that Isabella and Cat
awba vines are, on trellises. The conse
quence was, very little fruit was produced, and
that of a very poor quality.; and as be thought
he had done his best, he at length came to the
conclusion that it was the change of location
that had mad - such a wonderful change in the
fruit. It happened that a few tendrils from
one of the vines came in contact with the
projecting limb a ot plum tree, and in a short
tune the shoots reached the top of the tree, and
the next year the owner was gratified to see
good fruit, of as good flavor as any lie had ev
er tasted of the kind in their native place. In
several instances I have known Isabella vines
to run rampant over the tops of large trees, and
they have never failed to produce large crop*
of grapes every year, of better qualify than
any that I have ever eaten grown ontrellised
vines, and without any labor being expended.
There is one vine now growing in this town,
that produces more grapes than any other six
that are managed in the ordinary way; and
what I wish to suggest is this: Why cannot
Isabella and Catawba grapes be raised to any
extent throughout our whole country, on the
tops of the scattering trees in the fields, and
along the borders of woodlands and vvooddy
ravines, without any labor being expended or
required, except in planting the vines, and
training them up a permanent post lor that
purpose ? There should be three shoots fasten
ed to the sides of the post, with loops ol leath
er, until the beginning of March in tiie second
year, at which time they should be reduced to
one which is to make the trunk ol the vine.
It should he protected while it is small with
i stakes, to prevent injury by cattle or other
I animals. The vine needs the support of the
! post until the tendrills obtain permanent hold
of the limbs of the tree, and the body attains
sufficient size to withstand any thing that may
come against it. The vines should not lie set
near the body of the tree, because the ground
is already occupied by the roots of the tree —
but directly under the extiemilics of the
branches on the South side, where the vino
will receive the warmth of the sun. If the soil
isnotfirstrate.it should be taken away and
replaced with at least one cart load of rich
sods from the roadside which is much better
than any highly manured soil ibr the vine or
any fruit trees. Much has been written on
the management of vines, with many precise
rules for pruning, training, manuring. &c.,
which all amounts to nothing with farmers
generally, who have no time to devote to such
work. All that our native vines want is plen
ty of space to extend over, and plenty of’ air
and sun. all of which they receive perfectly if
they are allowed to run over the tops of the
trees. Another advantage in planting vines
in the situations that I have described, is that
they are rendered more lasting, and will pro
duce fruit for several generations, judging
from specimns that I have seen growing in
different parts of our country, Writers com
pute the age of the vine at two hundred years,
and they liava been know to reach a much
greater age; hence in planting a vine we are
doing work that need not be repeated soon, in
the same place if properly done.
Boiling Fish, Ac., In Salt Water.
Bacon hams are said to be better boiled in
salt water, no doubt lor the reason that in a
given time they are much better boiled. Ilaai
require a long time in boiling. Sir Humphrey
Davy tells us the reason why. vegetables, and
fish should be plunged in boding salt and wa
ter is, that this solution boils at a higher tem
perature than plain water, and that the sudden
scalding fixes the albumen, mucilage, and
other nutritive parts of the viand, instead of
being macerated and sodden, and so partly lost
in lukkewarm water. — Farmers* Library.
The Potato Crop.
We seam that the potato crop in this vicinity has not
yet suffered from the dts.ase which haa hitherto proved
so fatal. But anotlier feature has developed itself.—
That is, though the vines grow luxuriantly, in many in
stances, there are no potatoes to be found, great or
small. The yield is therefore extremely limited, but the
quality is better than has been produced for several
